The eternal question will always be, “what if Hitler had won the war?”

Yet another poster highlighting the continuing saga of Peter Griffin vs. The Giant Chicken. Reminiscent of that other bullfighting poster.

“When I see a dead fly on the windowsill — one that wasn’t there
the day before — I always wonder how he died. I wonder if he had a
stroke, or maybe a little fly heart attack. Then I think maybe he’s
pretending to be dead so I won’t swat him. So I swat him.”

George Carlin

From the BBC:

US beer magnate Peter Coors has had his licence revoked for driving under the influence of alcohol in the western state of Colorado.

A hearing ruled that Mr. Coors had failed to heed a stop sign in May and was driving while intoxicated.

Mr Coors, 59, admitted driving after consuming beer at a wedding.

“I made a mistake,” Mr. Coors said in a statement. “For years, I’ve advocated the responsible use of our company’s products.”

He added: “That’s still my message, and our company’s message. I’m sorry I didn’t follow it myself.”

A 160-pound wonder from Japan set a new record by devouring a sickening 53 3/4 frankfurters in 12 minutes to win the annual Independence Day hot dog eating competition on Coney Island.
The feat earned Takeru Kobayashi, 27, his sixth straight title in the event, held at the original Nathan’s Famous hot dog stand on Brooklyn’s seashore.

He broke his own record of 53 1/2 hot dogs, set at the same competition two years ago.

Disunited States of America

On Independence Day, would we all be happier with even more independence? What if government of the people meant that the Red people in the South and the Blue people in the North had a border between them?

This question used to be of interest mainly to Southerners mourning their Lost Cause, but nowadays Northerners have their own reason to lament. The South is gaining seats in Congress at their expense, and four of the last five presidents have come from the South.

If the South were a separate country, Northern liberals wouldn’t be ranting at George W. Bush and Pat Robertson. They wouldn’t be frantically trying to find a candidate who appealed to the Bible Belt and pretended to enjoy Nascar races. They might never hear a Garth Brooks song or have to stop at a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.

The makers of The Da Vinci Code hit a stroke of luck when somebody thought that maybe no one should watch the film… they should have taken a lesson from these bureaucrats, which just banned Voodoo Dolls, making the item to have in communist China (from Newsweek):

The dolls have become increasingly popular among the Middle Kingdom’s misanthropes and trend-conscious teens. Customers purchase a doll (pin included), attach a piece of paper bearing the name of their enemy to the doll and then stab away. Voodoo Dolls Online offers a wide range of dolls in assorted colors. “Do you want to make your enemy feel as if someone is always stalking him behind his back?” reads the caption next to a doll clad in black. ” ‘The Magic Shadow Killer’ will thoroughly destroy his spirit.” Another popular item is the “Little Angel,” which purportedly brings good luck and helps its owner find true love.

Who was Eddie Van Halen? He was the guitar-god leader of the band that carried his family name, able to leap tall buildings with a single bound.  At least that was the guy pictured above. And yes, time waits for no man, but Eddie is not even 50 years old yet, and I see no reason for how terrible he looks in this picture, taken a couple of months ago:

I guess that’s how “Hot for Teacher” gets into the oldies’ stations.
